Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

The majestic emperor's car slowly crossed the world's number one pass between the ice and snow, and stepped into this piece of land that the emperor was so familiar with.

From the time when he came alone to take charge of the army at the beginning of this world, this land of Liaodong is almost the place where the emperor thinks about it day and night, and his thoughts are all on this land.

Every city and fortress, even every village and town, official roads and village roads, the emperor is familiar with it by heart.

The emperor is almost familiar with this place, and even the emperor is not familiar with this land for the palace where he has lived for so many years.

After many years, the emperor set foot on this land again, and the emperor was inexplicably moved.

He still remembers that in those years, he imagined more than once to go out to Liaozhen Houjin and completely recover the scenery of Liaodong.

Up to now, Liao Town...has already become history, and Houjin has long since disappeared. Although there are still some remnants of evil, but compared with Daheng today, it is really not worth mentioning.

Not to mention the remnants of thousands of people, even Houjin in its heyday is definitely not a serious problem in front of Daheng today.

The Han land has been restored, the Han land has been settled, and the Han land has been settled...

A Liaodong Corridor, the emperor is rarely full of emotion.

In the past, the Liaodong Corridor was a land of long wars, and Liao Province was oppressed by foreign races. If they were caught, they would be slaves.

Therefore, whether it is the Liaodong Corridor or the Liao Province, under the devastation of the continuous war, it can be said that the population is sparsely populated, the fields are deserted, and it is all desolate and dilapidated.

But at the moment, the once desolate scene has disappeared, people come and go on the official road, and business trips are endless, showing the hustle and bustle.

In the frontier city along the way, the breath of blood and fire in the past, except for the traces of war still remaining on the city wall, everything else has been completely washed away by this noise.

The Liaodong Corridor, which was established as Shanhaifu and directly under the central hub, seems to have lost its strategic role at the moment. Instead, it has become a commercial road like the Silk Road, and has become a land hub linking the Central Plains and Liao Province. where.

After the driver of the world crossed the Liaodong Corridor and stepped into Liao Province, this change became more and more obvious in the eyes of the emperor.

In just a few years, Liao Province was pacified from the very beginning, with a population of only a few hundred thousand, and now it has expanded to nearly 10 million.

From this bit of data on paper alone, we can clearly see how great the changes in Liao Province have been.

Of course, these are only on paper.

The most important thing is the special strategic position of Liao Province in the Daheng world.

The foundation of the emperor's ability to ascend to the great treasure and establish a country with great permanence lies in the millions of troops under his control.

But strictly speaking, the Son of Heaven did not have a real foundation from when he took power to when he ascended the throne.

Even if it is a place suppressed by the army, it is also a place shrouded in the old order, but it was suppressed by the army and had to be used by the emperor.

But this Liao Province is obviously completely different.

In the early years of Daheng, the Son of Heaven fell in love with Houjin in Liao Township. The army plowed the court and swept the caves, killing the family and exterminating the species. This Liao Province has truly destroyed all the old order, and it is truly created from nothing. It has shaped the Daheng order in the mind of an emperor.

The first and most thorough implementation of the land tax reform is Liao Province.

The reform of the tax department, the reform of the Lijia, and the transfer of imperial power to the countryside are the most thorough implementation in Liao Province, where the Daheng order has truly been established from scratch.

Even if the educational reform of inspectors has not been fully covered in Liao Province, it is only because the emperor deliberately suppressed it and had some scruples.

It is very clear, that is... In other parts of the Daheng world, any policy implemented by Daheng has intricate interests, and these interests will bring great resistance.

But in Liao Province, none of these!

In Liao Province, there are no entangled landlords and gentry, no entangled civil servant factions in the officialdom, and no such eloquent scholarly public opinion...

It is true that all kinds of wastes are waiting to be done, and it is true that the emperor can carry out the politics in his heart without any resistance.

Liao Province is a treasure land, a real foundation of Daheng!

It is precisely because of these that the emperor attaches great importance to Liao Province.

Otherwise, whether it is the development of Liao Province, or the migration of the people, and the stability of Liao Province, they can be gradually planned, and there is no need for such a rapid large-scale blood transfusion.

Its fundamental reason lies in this.

It is precisely because of this reason that Liao Province has such a special status in Daheng, which allows the emperor to give blood transfusions for years and months at almost any cost to make it develop.

As for other factors, they are only incidental products of this reason.

Under such a complete Daheng order, Liao Province also displayed a folk situation that was almost completely different from other provinces in the Daheng world.

In Liao Province, the commercial economy has already taken shape, and the business environment is far more mature and open than other regions in Daheng.

Maritime trade, even if it is not as good as Jiangnan Maritime Trade, but thanks to the mature and open business environment, it is not much inferior to Jiangnan Maritime Trade.

And the large-scale immigration of people, the sudden increase in population, and the large-scale development of land have brought about fertile granaries.

In the eighth year of Zhaowu, Liao Province, which has been established for only a few years, has already ranked first in the number of commercial taxes paid in the Daheng world, only inferior to Zhejiang and Jiangsu, which was restructured from Southern Zhili, and the three provinces of Northern Zhili .

Although the scale of agricultural tax is temporarily not ranked in the Daheng world, it is only because of Daheng's policy of exempting the migrants from Liao Province from agricultural tax.

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Households, with the current land in Liao Province, the scale of land that can be planted has leapt to the forefront of Daheng provinces due to the large-scale development in these years.

Coupled with the current policy of encouraging birth and migration, and the continuing official organization of migration, it is estimated that in the fifteenth day of Zhaowu, the farmers in Liao Province will be enough to completely become another granary in Daheng, Liao Province The scale of the agricultural tax is also enough to leap to the forefront of the Daheng provinces.

Farmers and businessmen are advancing hand in hand. Liao Province, with the support of blood transfusions that are almost the power of the whole country, has achieved a miracle that has been repeated throughout history and is unprecedented in this vast land of ice and snow.

And this miracle is obviously still going on, and it will last for a long, long time.

Thousands of miles of snowfields will turn into thousands of miles of fertile soil sooner or later.

Thousands of miles of uninhabited people will inevitably become a place with a strong population.

Under the rule of Zhaowu, the great development of Liao Province is destined to be engraved in the history, leaving a lot of ink and colors that cannot be ignored!

Chapter 7 and Two

"Sir, see Your Majesty!"

"Long Live Long Live Your Majesty!"

Outside Shenyang Fucheng, Governor of Liao Province Zhang He and Governor of Liao Province Huang Degong led the civil and military generals of Liao Province, kowtowed among the ice and snow, and shouted "Long live", soaring into the sky.

"Excuse me."

The Son of Heaven stepped down from the carriage and looked up at the once post-golden capital city, his brows were filled with sadness.

Recalling the eventful years of the past, it is indeed inevitable to be emotional, especially after many years, it is even more emotional.

After a while, the emperor collected his thoughts and turned his eyes to Zhang He, Governor of Liao Province, and Huang Degong, Governor of Liao Province.

In Liao Province, in the Daheng world, not only the agricultural and commercial environment is special, but also the official position is also special.

Under the implementation of the policy of separation of military and government in the early years, the political and military ecology of the provinces in the world has long since restored the appearance of separation of powers.

Such as the civil servant system's chief minister, inspector, tax envoy, school inspector, and inspector censor.

Such as the staff department of the military system, the military justice department, the political department...

The two systems are both corresponding centers, either directly under, or unified, with separation of military and government, mutual checks and balances, and centralization of power.

Looking at the Daheng world today, except for the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou, the system of supervisors is still retained, that is, the military and government are all in charge, and the power is monopolized in one place.

Only this Liao Province still retains the governor's power, that is, the governor is in charge of the civil affairs of a province, and the subordinate departments and governments are all under the governor's control.

The same is true for the military. The governor is in charge of the military in Liao Province. Except for Shaanxi, which is still in charge of the management of northwest Tibet due to its special terrain, only Liao Province still retains a military governor.

Such a political and military ecology is naturally for the purpose of centralizing power.

After all, in terms of civil affairs, Liao Province can be called a demonstration province of Daheng. If there is no centralization of power, it will inevitably be full of contradictions and progress will be slow.

In terms of military affairs, at the beginning of the establishment of the Liao Province, five guards were set up to guard the border, and five guards were added one after another. Up to now, Liao Province has ten guards guarding the border, surrounding the entire periphery of Liao Province, guarding Liao Province peaceful.

At the same time, there are three elite battalions stationed in Liao Province, Changfeng, Anliao, and Polu, with a total of nearly [-] cavalry.

With such a hoard of troops, the military responsibility of Liao Province is naturally not light.

For example, since the pacification of Liao Province, Li Ting has never stopped sweeping caves, strangling the natives of Liao Province, that is, those indigenous tribes in the icy and snowy land, and killing the remnants of the late Jin Dynasty, so as to open up the living space of the Han people.

This is obviously not a short-term success, but a long-term strategy.

Liao Province is vast and boundless, but compared with the entire Liao Province, the land currently under actual control is still only a small part, and most of it is still only controlled in name, with no garrisons and no Han people.

The main function of the hoarding of heavy troops in Liao Province is to expand the territory.

It's just that this kind of expansion of territory is not a war, just laying down as much land, but following the development of Liao Province, expanding the territory, eroding bit by bit to the land that has not been actually controlled, and pioneering the survival space.

With such a heavy force, another function is naturally to deter North Korea.

North Korea is in Daheng, which is also a provincial-level administrative region. Although there has not been a major turmoil in these years, the small-scale turmoil has hardly stopped.

Only in the past few years, Liao Province has developed rapidly, and the military, political and economic radiation impact on North Korea has deepened, and North Korea has stabilized a little.

But the necessary military deterrence is naturally indispensable.

But... this is just the past. Now, Liao Province has stabilized and the order has been consolidated. Functions that previously required centralization can function normally without centralization...

governor, governor...

These two centralized positions may still be needed for Liao Province, but for the world and the emperor, the harm outweighs the benefit.

The thought disappeared in a flash, but this thought also directly took root in the emperor's heart.

The emperor did not have the mentality of killing the donkey at all. If the credit is good, then he will be promoted and rich, and then the governor will be removed, and it will be back to normal.

This is undoubtedly something that is too normal to be normal.

The emperor, the imperial court, cannot allow one person to hold the power of a place for a long time.

That's not paying attention, but praising and killing!

Human nature is the most vulnerable to the test.

Long-term control of a place with great power, life and death, will sooner or later give birth to thoughts that shouldn't be there.

That way, it is not good for the world, not good for the individual.

Accompanied by various civil and military officials from Liao Province, the emperor entered Shenyang City and lived directly in the Shenyang Palace.

The so-called Shenyang Xinggong naturally refers to the Houjin Palace.

After the destruction of Houjin, the imperial palace was vacant, involving the Tian family. Naturally, no one dared to dispose of it without authorization, so it has been vacant. The Liao Province has also organized manpower many times to maintain it. With the announcement of the emperor's tour of the world, the Houjin Imperial Palace will naturally be successfully completed. It became the Royal Shenyang Palace and the place where the world stays.

The imperial palace of Houjin is not grand, even compared to the place where the rich and powerful are, I am afraid it is not as good.

This is naturally due to changes in history. After all, according to the original history, the real rise of the Later Jin Dynasty was during the reign of Chongzhen. The centralization of power by Huang Taiji allowed Hou Jin to complete the transformation from a fishing and hunting country to a feudal centralized country created in the first place.

But this transformation process, in this time and space, can be said to be a death before the success of the teacher due to the rise of the emperor.

In the battle of Beijing and Ji that year, Nurhachi died in battle, Huang Taiji died in battle, and the generals of the Houjin Ministry are countless.

In the following years, the attacks on frontier merchants, the blockade of the border, and the wooing of Mongolia, even if Liaozhen rebelled, Houjin has been blocked in this bitter and cold place in Liaodong, and it is difficult to make any progress.

The national power was consumed, and the way out was blocked. In such a situation, it is naturally impossible for the Empress Golden Palace to receive any repairs and expansions.

Its simplicity and dilapidation are the clear proof of the history of that era.

That night, the Son of Heaven and the Shenyang Palace hosted a banquet for the ministers of civil and military affairs who accompanied him, as well as civil and military officials of the sixth rank and above in Liao Province.

A banquet, but it seemed that the idea in the emperor's heart became more and more deeply rooted.

Just like the "fan towns" set up by the emperor in order to control the world, when the world is in crisis, those "fan towns" integrating military and government have played an important role in controlling the situation of the world for the emperor and the establishment of Daheng. substitution effect.

However, as the fortunes of Daheng gradually stabilized, the role of those feudal towns weakened, and for the country, the disadvantages were increasingly greater than the benefits they produced.

Therefore, the removal of feudal vassals and the implementation of the separation of military and government appeared accordingly.

And this is the case in Liao Province.

A banquet, the emperor can see clearly.

The long-term centralization of civil and military power has made Liao Province's civil and military political ecology almost a small imperial court. In addition, Liao Province's large-scale military transfer to civil service...

This Liao Province...is not a feudal town...but it already looks like a feudal town!

……

Chapter 7 The Complexity of Population

The joy of the banquet, the thoughts of the emperor, for Zhang He, the governor of Liao Province, and Huang Degong, the governor of Liao Province, it is difficult to have too much thought.

In the middle of the night, when the banquet was over, the two of them still looked worried.

Having been officials and generals for many years, the two of them naturally had their personal connections, and the news of Bai Lian's plot to assassinate the emperor was naturally heard by the two of them.

Such news, of course, has nothing to do with the two of them. After all, no one thinks that the mere remnants of Bailian can break through the net of Jin Yiwei and tens of thousands of forbidden troops.

And, most importantly, this matter has nothing to do with them who are officials in Liao Province.

But...now that today's son is in Liao Province, if he is assassinated in Liao Province, it is obvious that they are the governor of Liao Province, and they are absolutely inseparable.

It is not a trivial matter that concerns the safety of the emperor.
